The most productive sub-flagships and low-cost Android smartphones around the world. The leader has changed in the AnTuTu ranking
The AnTuTu benchmark team has published the May 2022 mid-range and sub-flagship Android smartphone rankings for the international market.
The rating of sub-flagships has changed significantly compared to April. The first place was taken by Poco F3, which ranked eighth in April. And the second place was taken by the smartphone Realme GT Neo 2 (review), dropping from the first. In third place was the Google Pixel 6, previously in second place.
Rounding out the top ten are Redmi K40, Google Pixel 6 Pro, Realme GT Neo2T, Realme GT Neo, Black Shark 4, Xiaomi Mi 11X and Redmi K40 Gaming.
In the ranking of inexpensive models, there is still a lull and there are very few changes. However, there is progress here too – the iQOO Z5 smartphone, which previously held first place, has left the ranking. The overall Top 10 looks like this: Realme GT Master, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE, Honor 50, Realme 9 Pro+, Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G, Galaxy M52 5G, Redmi Note11 Pro+, Galaxy A53 5G and Realme 9 Pro .
Statistics collected from May 1 to May 31, 2022. The AnTuTu ranking uses averages, not the highest scores. For each smartphone, the results of at least 1000 tests were taken into account – models with fewer tests are not included in the rating.

Nubia Z60 Ultra will refute the thesis about the uselessness of ultra-wide-angle cameras in smartphones

The Nubia brand today published details about the camera of the future flagship Nubia Z60 Ultra. In particular, we are talking about its module with an ultra-wide-angle lens.
With its new flagship, Nubia will try to “refute the theory that wide-angle cameras are useless.” This refers to photo quality: modules with ultra-wide-angle lenses are equipped with low-quality optics, low-resolution sensors and small optical formats, and all this naturally leads to the fact that the photo quality of the ultra-wide-angle camera is much inferior to the photo quality of the main camera.
But this will not happen in the Nubia Z60 Ultra: the corresponding module will have a fast (F/1.8) 50-megapixel 1/1.56-inch optical format sensor, complemented by an eight-element lens and an optical stabilization system. In general, this model will have triple OIS – in each of the three modules.
The official premiere of Nubia Z60 Ultra will take place on December 19. The smartphone will receive Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a 6000 mAh battery and IP68 protection.

A truly unique smartphone design. Nubia Z60 Ultra turned out to be extremely unusual

The Nubia brand cannot boast of a large assortment of smartphones or good sales, but what cannot be taken away from Nubia devices is the design. Recently, everyone was surprised by the gaming Red Magic 9 Pro with cameras without any protrusion and a flat, minimalistic design, but now images of the flagship Z60 Ultra have appeared on the Internet, which does not look like Red Magic, but at the same time looks no less unusual, if not more.
As you can see, the device does not have any separate block of cameras, while three cameras are placed in an unusual way and each is designed in its own way.
Thanks to this design, the Z60 Ultra does not look like any other smartphone at all, and not even close. Plus, it has the most angular shapes and a screen without any cutouts, since the front camera is sub-screen.
The new Nubia should receive SoC Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh and cameras with a resolution of 50, 50 and 64 megapixels, including a periscope module.
